'Today' anchor Al Roker has Craig Melvin, Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb in splits as he tries to correct on-air gaffe
NEW YORK NEW YORK: 'Today's beloved weatherman Al Roker is no stranger to making his co-hosts Craig Melvin, Hoda Kotb and Savannah Guthrie laugh, but his latest gaffe had his co-hosts laughing off-camera. It was his immediate attempt to backpedal after the on-camera slip that sparked a reaction from his colleagues.
The camera immediately cut to Melvin, Kotb and Guthrie after the word mix-up as they continued with the broadcast.
What was the on-air blunder about?
The on-air blunder took place when 'Today's meteorologist was giving his weather report on Tuesday, June 13. He was trying to explain how an 'unusually strong' jet stream is currently heading across the southern parts of the US. As he was about to finish his report, he said, "We're gonna get to..."
His jumbled-up words immediately caught the attention of his co-hosts who were seen laughing, while Al immediately followed up his slip-up with, "Oh, not quite, nope nope, so close, so close. Back to you guys." As the camera cut to hosts Craig, Hoda and Savannah, they were seen giggling away. Al is in good spirits after the recent health scares and the knee replacement surgery, he underwent last month, per The Sun.
Al Roker's comeback on 'Today'
It was not that long ago that Al made his comeback to the morning show after recovering from his knee replacement surgery. He had the surgery back on May 9 and made a comeback to the studio on May 30. Al and his wife kept their fans updated about his recovery process via social media. Also, the excitement of his co-hosts knew no bounds the moment he came back to the show.
While he has to stand upright during some parts of the morning show, he manages to keep his report sitting down during some parts of the morning show. This helps him rest while successfully delivering his segments. During his comeback to the studio, Savannah teasingly joked about this knee and teased him by asking, "Does it still have that new knee smell?" To which Al immediately replied, "Don't want to go there, but it's all good."
